Introduction to Genomic Variant Interpretation

Introduction to Genomic Variant Interpretationhttp://sbc.shef.ac.uk/training/variants-introduction-2019-05-30https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/introduction-to-identifying-and-characterising-variants-from-ngs-data-bfeba574-0bba-47f5-9de9-fdabc6d50ce4This course covers state-of-the-art and best-practice tools for the analysis of genomes. We describe, and give hands-on experience of, the entire analysis workflow from raw data generated by a sequencing machine to deriving variant calls (e.g. Single Nucleotide Variants) that are ready for downstream analysis, interpretation and prioritisation. We will describe the steps involved to go from sequencing library to a prioritised, clinically-relevant list of DNA variants. Practical sessions will use the user-friendly Galaxy interface (https://usegalaxy.org/) to demonstrate tasks such as alignment, quality control, variant-calling and annotation.2019-05-30 08:30:00 UTC2019-05-31 16:00:00 UTCThe Diamond, Workroom 1, Sheffield, United KingdomThe Diamond, Workroom 1SheffieldUnited KingdomS3 7RD[]bioinformatics-core@sheffield.ac.uk[][]workshops_and_courses[][]

RNA-seq Analysis for Beginners

10 June 2019

Sheffield, United Kingdom

RNA-seq Analysis for Beginnershttp://sbc.shef.ac.uk/training/rna-seq-introduction-2019-06-10https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/rna-seq-analysis-for-beginnersHigh-throughput RNA-sequencing is now the standard technique for quantifying transcript abundance in a biological sample of interest. In this course we will describe the processes that take place once you submit a library for RNA sequencing, and what data you should expect to receive from the Bioinformatics Core. We will describe the steps involved to go from sequencing library to a list of genes that show statistically significant differences between your biological conditions of interest. Practical sessions will use the user-friendly Galaxy interface (https://usegalaxy.org/) to demonstrate tasks such as alignment, quality control and assessing differential expression. We will also showcase some web sites you can use for enrichment and pathways analysis.2019-06-10 08:30:00 UTC2019-06-10 16:00:00 UTCThe Diamond, Workroom 1, Sheffield, United KingdomThe Diamond, Workroom 1SheffieldUnited KingdomS3 7RD[]bioinformatics-core@sheffield.ac.uk[][]workshops_and_courses[][]

International Conference on Polyploidy

11 - 14 June 2019

Gent, Belgium

International Conference on Polyploidyhttps://vibconferences.be/event/international-conference-on-polyploidyhttps://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/international-conference-on-polyploidyThe International Conference on Polyploidy will present cutting edge research into the importance of polyploidy and whole genome duplication for genetics, evolution and ecology. For the 2019 meeting, which will take place at the beautiful city of Ghent, we are trying to put together an exciting program focusing on many different aspects of polyploidy, such as the short- and long-term ecological and evolutionary consequence of polyploidy for plant and animal systems, but also polyploidy in somatic cells and clonal populations will be discussed.
The International Conference on Polyploidy will present a unique opportunity to meet and discuss with colleagues, get updated on the newest developments and insights into recent and ancient polyploidy and whole genome duplication, and will provide unique possibilities to network and discuss collaborations. We are delighted to announce that Dr. Ilia Leitch (Kew Gardens) has agreed to deliver the plenary lecture on Tuesday afternoon, June 11th, opening the meeting.

Introduction to RNA-seq analysis in R

24 June 2019

Sheffield, United Kingdom

Introduction to RNA-seq analysis in Rhttp://sbc.shef.ac.uk/training/rna-seq-in-r-2019-06-24https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/introduction-to-rna-seq-analysis-in-r-4ff2ae93-b96a-4dc0-8f92-957042a88c1dIn this workshop, you will be learning how to analyse RNA-seq count data, using R. This will include reading the data into R, quality control and performing differential expression analysis and gene set testing, with a focus on the edgeR analysis workflow. You will learn how to generate common plots for analysis and visualisation of gene expression data, such as boxplots and heatmaps. You will also be learning how alignment and counting of raw RNA-seq data can be performed in R. This workshop is aimed at biologists interested in learning how to perform differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data when reference genomes are available..2019-06-24 08:30:00 UTC2019-06-24 16:00:00 UTCThe Diamond, Workroom 1, Sheffield, United KingdomThe Diamond, Workroom 1SheffieldUnited KingdomS3 7RD[]bioinformatics-core@sheffield.ac.uk[][]workshops_and_courses[][]

Sharing Bioinformatics Training and Building a Region-wide Programme

9 - 10 July 2019

Sheffield, United Kingdom

Sharing Bioinformatics Training and Building a Region-wide Programmehttp://sbc.shef.ac.uk/training/training-network-2019-07-09https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/sharing-bioinformatics-training-and-building-a-region-wide-programmeHigh-throughput genomic data analysis is now a defining skill in the life sciences. There is already a shortage of researchers who can bridge the gap between computational approaches to data and biological insights, and this demand is only getting stronger. Bioinformatics training is under-provisioning in the North of England, with many small Bioinformatics teams at different institutes lacking the resources to deliver a full Bioinformatics training programme.2019-07-09 09:30:00 UTC2019-07-10 14:30:00 UTCSheffield, United KingdomSheffieldUnited Kingdom[]bioinformatics-core@sheffield.ac.uk[][]workshops_and_courses[][]
